About

What up?

Lindsay Jean Michelle is my name. Nicknames include LJ, Bilbo, Jean Dog, Starpants and Lil’ Dynamite (no it's not my rapper name so don't ask me to rap unless you're prepared for the consequences).

I’m from the San Fernando Valley, but, like, I wouldn't, like, say I'm, like a valley girl? Cause’ like, I so totally don’t even like talk like one?

I’m actually often mistaken for an East Coaster because, having been raised by New Yorkers, I talk, drive and parallel park like one. I'm WALKIN HERE! Not really though because we're in LA and in LA we don't walk. Ever.

If you don't have a brand, do you even exist? Not in today's world. So let's make sure you know mine:

Resume

I often play the mouthy ball-buster who vindictively puts dudes in the friend zone - sorry not sorry. I play that chick who shows up to work hungover, but don't worry about it, she's still on time. In the rom com, I'm your best friend who tells you you're an idiot. In the action heist or procedural, I'm the snarky techie. In the period piece, I'm the absolute menace of society: the prostitute (or shrew). If I were a drink, I'd be a salty and spicy cocktail of Natasha Lyonne, Kat Dennings, female Jonah Hill (hold the problematic texts), topped off with a zingy Jennifer Lawrence garnish. Mmmm tasty.

Why acting you may be wondering?

When I was a wee little lass, I had terrible social anxiety. I mean terrible - I didn't talk. Acting brought me out of my shell. Acting gave me permission to be vulnerable and to express myself creatively. I finally made friends in acting class. I finally felt safe.

And now I'm a bad bitch. NOT a bad actor. See the difference?

I digress.

To put it simply, I’m really f***king good at what I do. Don't believe me? You're an idiot. See what I did there. That's what we screenwriters and improv folk refer to as a call-back. Not like an acting call-back, which I also get all the time. Because I'm really f*cking good at acting.

I'm also a comedy writer. In case you didn't put that together yet.

For more about what I write, visit my OTHER website here.

Don't worry, there's not nearly as much to read over there...ironically.

Right. So, me in a nutshell: Actor. Comedian. Writer.

Small but mighty millennial.
